BELLA UP, UP, AND AWAY

Bella is a curious cat who lives inside a lighthouse.

When Bella meets a new friend, a cat named Claude, she invites him along for an adventure, only to find that he prefers warm sand to playing in the ocean, and likes naps more than defending sand castles from imaginary foe. When a strong wind sweeps Claude out to sea, Bella takes to the skies – born aloft by a kite – to save him!
